remote not working right

[#1]

I've had my FIOS about 2 months, put new batteries in remote and it is still not working right.  Some things work fine.  Other things stopped working - can't delete a DVR show, can't change channels with one digit, but it will if I add all 4 digits, info box on bottom of screen never disappears (unless I hit exit).  What's wrong?

My second TV set-up is OK.

Might not even be a remote issue. Have you tried rebooting the box?

If you do think it's the remote it's still under warranty.

You can get a free replacement easy within the dvr's menu.

Here is a page that tells you ways to get a replacement.

Get a new remote and if you still have the same issues then you'll know its the dvr that needs to be replaced.

That did it, thanks.  I unplugged the box and it rebooted.  All OK now.
